Intended Use

Martin Chair Model C4S1 is intended for use for providing mobility to persons limited to a sitting position. It is specifically indicated to transfer a patient to and from a wheelchair. : . . .

Device Story

Martin Chair Model C4S1 is a manual wheelchair for adult mobility; features base with two large rear wheels, two small front wheels, and seat. Device integrates with Martin Examination Table via latching mechanism under seat cushion to fixed metal receivers on table; allows seat to become part of examination table surface. Side frames and wheels are removable via quick-release axles to facilitate transfer. Operated by patient, attendant, or clinician in indoor/outdoor settings. Eliminates manual lifting during patient transfer to examination table. Benefits include improved safety and ease of transfer for patients with limited mobility.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Device tested against FDA-recognized ANSI/RESNA consensus standards for mechanical wheelchairs by Human Engineering Research Laboratories (HERL). Successfully passed flame retardant testing. Examination table tested to UL 60601-1, UL 60601-1-2, and CSA 22.2 No 601-1.

Technological Characteristics

Manual wheelchair; materials: steel, plastics, fabrics. Features: quick-release axles, removable side frames, latching mechanism for examination table integration.

INDICATIONS FOR USE Martin Chair Model C4S1 is intended for use for providing mobility to persons limited to a sitting position. It is specifically indicated to transfer a patient to and from a wheelchair. : . . . {1}------------------------------------------------ #### D. DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE The Martin Chair Model C4S1 mechanical wheelchair is an indoor/outdoor wheelchair that has a base with two larger rear wheels and two smaller front wheels and a seat. The wheelchair is intended to be manually propelled by a person seated in the wheelchair or by an attendant or clinician. The device is made from composites of steel, plastics and fabrics. The wheelchair is for use by adult persons. The wheelchair can be secured to a compatible, electrically elevated examination table which allows for the seat of the wheelchair to become part of the examination table. This removes the need for the patient to be lifted during transfer from the wheelchair to the examination table. The wheelchair is latched to the examination table and the side frame and wheels are removed for the examination. The sides and wheels are replaced prior to lowering the examination table allowing the wheelchair to be used according to its intended use. The Martin Examination Table is a 510(k) exempt device, 21 CFR 878.4960, product code LGX. It is an accessory to the Martin Chair. It is a device intended as a powered examination table to provide positioning and support to patients during general examinations and procedures. It is intended for medical purposes as an electrically operated table with movable components that can be adjusted to various positions, the same intended use as other currently marketed powered tables. The Martin Examination Table is a standard powered examination table that includes standard components and features of other currently marketed powered examination tables including side rails for additional safety. The Martin Examination Table includes latches under the seat cushion that are compatible with the fixed metal receivers of the Martin Chair Model C4S1, #### ui PERFORMANCE TESTING The Martin Chair Model C4S1 mechanical wheelchair meets the applicable FDA recognized ANSI/RESNA consensus standards tested by Human Engineering Research Laboratories (HERL) for mechanical wheelchairs and has successfully passed testing. Data within the 510(k) demonstrates successful performance against flame retardant standards. The Martin Examination Table has been tested to in accordance with standards: UL 60601-1, UL 60601-1-2, and CSA 22.2 No 601-1. {2}------------------------------------------------ ## ட் LEGALLY MARKETED DEVICE FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE COMPARISON | | Mechanical<br>Wheelchair Predicate | Table<br>Predicate | Patient Transfer<br>Predicate | |-----------------------|------------------------------------|------------------------|------------------------------------------| | Manufacturer: | Invacare<br>Corporation | Midmark<br>Corporation | Nova<br>Technologies, Inc. | | Model: | Terminator | 411 | Novabed Patient<br>Transfer System | | Cleared Under: | K012167 | K894134 | K874448, K964246 | | Date Cleared: | August 1, 2001 | 08/28/1989 | December 17,<br>1987<br>January 22, 1997 | | Class: | I | I | II | | Regulation<br>Number: | 890.3850 | 878.4960 | 890.3860<br>880.5100 | | Product Code(s): | IOR, FRZ, LGX | LGX | FRZ, FNL, IOR | #### G. SUMMARY OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE COMPARISON The new device and the predicate devices have the same intended use which is to provide mobility to persons limited to a sitting position and to transfer patients to and from a wheelchair. The wheelchair is manually powered and has similar weight bearing capacity. The overall dimensions and materials are similar. The ability to remove the side rails and/or wheels via a contained, quick release axle is also similar compared to Invacare Terminator, K012167. The Invacare Terminator uses an enclosed camber to hold the rear quick release axle. Similarly, the Martin Chair has an enclosed quick release axle and an enclosed positioning pin that secure the side frame of the wheelchair. Like the predicates, the Martin Chair has been tested to and found to meet the applicable FDA recognized ANSI/RESNA consensus standards tested by HERL for mechanical wheelchairs. The one technological difference between the new device and the predicates is the ability to latch to the Martin Examination Table thus facilitating patient transfer. As described within the 510(k), processes for transferring patients in and out of wheelchairs have previously been established by both the predicate wheelchairs and the Novabed Patient Transfer System. While patient transfer currently takes place routinely using the predicated wheelchair, the technological features between the Martin Chair and the Novabed Patient Transfer System are similar in that both devices provide a means for securing the patient during {3}------------------------------------------------ transfer and placing the patient directly onto the examination table. The method of patient transfer is well established and does not present new issues of safety and effectiveness. Thus the Martin Chair is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
